100 chicken nugget challenge
If anyone fancies a chicken nugget challenge with me, I'd gracefully take them up on the challenge. 100 mcnuggets as quickly as you can. Loser pays for the food. (I'll give you my PayPal details so you can transfer that cash) It's probably about 4000 calories, but there's plenty of protein in there (chicken???) Anyone?…

Bacon and steak
Bacon, is delicious, it's one of the most delicious foods on the planet. Steak is also one of the most delicious foods on the planet.
